Beckford

[rebel23]

They said he's on a free in the summer!

 

What do you make of him? we could certainly do a lot worse for a free striker

[RobbieOR]

He's not good enough.

[Brownie]

No.

[rebel23]

so who do you want that costs fuck all? Time to adjust to the new realities

[Stouffer]

You've got to be shitting me.

 

He's a good third division player (well apart from when he was at Carlisle where he couldn't hit a barn door with a barn door seeking missile) maybe an average second division player at best.

 

What about Lee Trundle, is he available in the summer?

[El Rojo]

I think our finances and modes of communication are so dire that other clubs will always get in before us so it doesn't matter whether or not a player has a fee atttached.

 

He's a better player than Voronin, withhout a doubt. Whether that makes him good enough is questionable.

[Stouffer]

He's a better player than Voronin, withhout a doubt.

 

He just isn't though, he plays for an Englsih 3rd division club.

[JohnnyH]

Below average 3rd division player. And he looks like a knacker. No thanks.

[rebel23]

didn't we used to sign players from lower league clubs and win titles?

[JohnnyH]

didn't we used to sign players from lower league clubs and win titles?

 

Everyone did. Back in the day. But they were good. Beckford isn't.

[Stouffer]

didn't we used to sign players from lower league clubs and win titles?

 

Everyone did, how many teams have won the league in the last 15 with players signed from the 2nd and 3rd division?

 

Lets see if Peter Whittingham is available from Cardiff: then number 19, here we come.

[Duff Man]

He'd be useless in the Premiership.

[Monster Masch]

Beckford, N'Gog, Beckford, N'Gog. Meh.

 

There is a reason Benfica are enquiring about him.

[rage]

seems to control the ball better than our dirk

[Newport]

Beckford, N'Gog, Beckford, N'Gog. Meh.

 

There is a reason Benfica are enquiring about him.

 

Beckford? Maybe we could try signing Oscar Cardozo then. Oh yes, we've got fuck all money.

[Monster Masch]

I don't think we should sign him.

[Unrighteous]

Good goal today. Never watched him other than that.

[Newport]

Good goal today. Never watched him other than that.

 

Not even when we played them? :whistle:

[RobbieOR]

Beckford, N'Gog, Beckford, N'Gog. Meh.

 

There is a reason Benfica are enquiring about him.

 

Where did you hear that?

 

If Beckford signed for a premier league club he would be about as good as Marlon Harewood and Leroy Lita were in the Premiership. And where are they now? Back to where they belong? Or another example would be Rob Earnshaw.

[Unrighteous]

Not even when we played them? :whistle:

 

Sure as fuck didn't notice him...

[Faustus]

I wouldn't be opposed to us signing him, but I think that's down to our attacking options at the moment rather than the lad's ability.

[Monster Masch]

Where did you hear that?

 

If Beckford signed for a premier league club he would be about as good as Marlon Harewood and Leroy Lita were in the Premiership. And where are they now? Back to where they belong? Or another example would be Rob Earnshaw.

 

It was rumoured during the summer. Here is just a quick google search to prove there was at least a rumour. Benfica linked with Beckford

 

Robbie, Harewood scored 14 league goals in 06/07 season for West Ham. Then also scored 5 for Villa in limited starts. You never mentioned Kevin Doyle funny.

 

Their terrible comparisons. Beckford is his own man and could do well for a bottom half premier league team.

 

But not for Liverpool.

[wevegot5]

You can all stop getting your knickers in a twist as he is going to Newcastle anyway.

[laddo]

Better than Voronin.

Better finisher than Kuyt.

Better first touch than Kuyt.

[stringvest]

Kuyt, Harewood, Beckford, Lita. All much of a muchness. It's a depressing thought that we've got one of these. We don't want any more, thanks.
